Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 28, 1913.

Application filed May 27, 1912. Serial No. 699,887.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. AUsTIN,

. a citizen of the United States, residing at port basins of differentsizes.

Fort Worth, in the county of Tarrant and State of Texas, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Cabinets, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to attachments for kitchen cabinets, tables, andother articles of furniture and more particularly to a bracket forsupporting water basins and the like and the object is to produce asimple and convenient device for supporting a water basin within easyreach of a table or cabinet and which is easily made and which can beeasily and quickly attached to a table or cabinet or other article offurniture. One f the advantages of the bracket is that it adds verylittle weight to the cabinet and is adjustable so that it can be made tosup- Other objects and advanta es will be fully explained in thefollowing escription, and the invention will be more particularlypointed in the claim.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings which form a partof thisapplication;

Figure l is a plan view of the bracket and brace. Fig. 2 is a sideelevation of the same, showing the brace out crosswise under one of thesupporting or attaching arms and showing a water basin supported on thebracket. Fig. 3 is a section, taken on the line mzc of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 isan end elevation of a bracket which is a variation of the bracket shownin the. previous views. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the bracket shown inFig. 4. Fig. 6 is a-siderelevation of a bracket which differs inconstructionfrom the construction shown in the previous views.

Similar characters of reference are used to indicate the same severalviews.

The bracket herein described is preferably made of a steel rod, but thebracket can be made of different material. The bracket is preferablymade of a single piece of ma terial and has a substantially circularportion 1 and arms. 2 integral therewith and which are bent at 3 and 4for the purpose of making the arms more or less yielding and expansible.The bracket is attached to the cabinet by means of eyes 5 formed at theparts throughout the termination of the arms, screws 6 and by a brace 7which is attached to the underside of the ledge 8 by screws 9. The endsof the arms 2 are thus rigidly attached to the cabinet by simpledevices.

The support 1 may be made expansible at opposite sides. The side next tothe cabinet can be expanded by placing the arms 2 in difierent grooves10 in the brace 7. The variation shown in Figs. 4. and 5 illustrate abracket which is expansible at opposite sides thereof.

When the bracket is made of steel, the support will be both yielding andresilient. In Figs. 4 and 5 the support 11 has a loop 12 formed thereinopposite the arms 2. By

reason of the loop 12 and the opening at the opposite side from the loop12 and vertical portions 13, the bracket is expans'ible andresilient andmay be adapted for supporting basins of diflerent sizes. The bent shanks14 make the attaching of the bracket to the cabinet practical and theshanks 14 and the brace 7 hold the bracket securely in place.

The bracket has been described as made of steel. The bracket can be madeof different material of difierent designs, such as shown in Fig. 6,which may be made of wood.

What I claim, is,-

An attachment for cabinets and the like consisting of a brackethorizontally disposed and composed of a single piece of reslhentmaterial forming two semi-circular members terminating on one side withhorizontal arms and on the other side having a downwardly extended loop,and said arms terminating with downwardly extended portions at rightangles to said ho-rlzontal portions, and then bent horizontally andextended to the cabinet, and parallel to each other and then "erticallydownward, a brace having a plurality of recesses for receiving saldparallel arms attached to the horizontal portion f the cabinet, andscrews attaching the vertical'end portions of said arms to the cabinet.

In testimony whereof, I set my hand in the presence of two witnesses,thls 18th day of May, 1912.
